Suppose that each fatty acid in a triglyceride can be converted into 8 molecules of acetyl CoA.  How many ATP could be generated by breaking down one molecule of this triglyceride? Assume 3 ATP per NADH and 2 ATP per FADH2.

For each of the following molecules determine how much ATP would be net from aerobic cellular respiration. Show your work. Which of the following produces the most energy? (a) Triglycerides are first digested into glycerol and fatty acids. The catabolism of this triglyceride yields: 1 DHAP molecule, 15 FADH2, 15 NADH, and 18 acetyl- COA. (b) Proteins are first digested into individual amino acids. Deamination removes the amine group from each amino acid. The resulting catabolism produces 12 pyruvate molecules.

consider the following fatty acid: ch3-ch2-ch2-ch2-ch2-ch2=ch-cooh. in terms of reducing equivalents, how much energy will it yield upon complete oxidation of co2? - 4 molecules of NADH and 4 molecules of FADH2 -4 molecules of NADH and 3 moleculs of FADH2 - 19 molecules of NADH and 8 molecules of FADH2 - 5 molecules of NADH and 8 molecules of FADH2 - 19 molecules of NADH and 9 molecules of FADH2

Consider a 24:1 △­­cis-9 fatty acid in the mitochondrion. For each fatty acid given, determine the following. 1. Gross ATP from b-oxidation cycles 2. Gross ATP from acetyl CoA produced 3. Gross ATP from conversion of propionyl CoA (if applicable) 4. Total number of ATP deducted 5. Total net ATP
